Those looking to show support for the families of two Palm Springs Police Officers shot and killed last weekend can do so this week at California Pizza Kitchen locations around Southern California.

The chain pizza restaurant will host a three-day fundraiser, running all day from Tuesday, Oct. 18 to Thursday, Oct. 20, to raise money for the families of officers Jose “Gil” Vega and Lesley Zerebny who were killed responding to a domestic disturbance call at a Palm Springs home Oct.8.

Vega was a 35-year veteran of the force and father of eight who was due to retire in December. He was not scheduled to work that day but had picked up an overtime shift.

Zerebny had been with the department for a year and a half. She had just returned from maternity leave after giving birth to a girl four months ago.

A third Palm Springs police officer was also shot at the time, but survived.

California Pizza Kitchen said 20 percent of the net sales from participating orders will be donated directly to the families of the two officers.

To participate in the fundraiser, customers should bring the event flyer or mention the fundraiser to their waiter. It can be applied to dine-in, take-out and catering orders, California Pizza Kitchen spokesperson Toni Leigh said in a release about the event.

In the valley, people can visit the California Pizza Kitchen location in Palm Desert at 73-080 El Paseo to get some pizza and support the officers’ families. People can also visit participating locations in Anaheim, Brea, Santa Anita, Chino Hills, Riverside, Temecula, Santa Ana, Pasadena and Rancho Cucamonga to participate in the fundraiser.
